Record Snowfall

When J was out of school three days and I was out for four last week because of on-and-off snow and freezing rain, we thought we'd hit the jackpot. Winter break came a week early. Then this Saturday, the snow started to fall again, and it hasn't stopped.

We've never seen this much snow in our home town in our lives, and even if it rains non-stop between now and Christmas, we are still guaranteed to have snow on the ground on the 25th. Please, you can stop singing "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" now.

Although it's beautiful and fun, I had been planning on shopping, and I haven't had a chance. If we can't buy it at the local grocery store, (Fred Meyer, for those of you who love to come here and shop at Freddy's), it won't be under the tree for Christmas.
